Telomere formation on macronuclear chromosomes of <it>Oxytricha trifallax</it> and <it>O. fallax</it>: alternatively processed regions have multiple telomere addition sites
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Ciliates employ massive chromatid breakage and <it>de novo</it> telomere formation during generation of the somatic macronucleus. Positions flanking the 81-MAC locus are reproducibly cut. But those flanking the Common Reg...
